[Aspuru-Guzik group list] FRIDAY: Talk by Borja Peropadre: 03-29-2013 at 11:30

Just to remind you all of the talk by Borja Peropadre: tomorrow (i.e. Friday)´at 11:30 in the division room. Then I will go for lunch with the guest: I will be glad if 2-3 other student/post-doc decide to join us. (yes, "I" am inviting you) Gian Giacomo ________________________________ From: Guerreschi, Gian Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 5:46 PM To: A-G Group ‎[aspuru-list@lists.fas.harvard.edu]‎ Subject: IMPORTANT: Talk by Borja Peropadre POST-PONED: 03-29-2013 at 11:30 Dear all, It is a pleasure to announce Borja's talk on Friday, March 29th, at 11:30. Borja Peropadre is a PhD student in the group of Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll at CSIC in Madrid (Spain). http://quinfog.iff.csic.es/borja-peropadre He will visit our group this week, March 26th-29th. He is interested in our research and in discussing with us, therefore I will organize a schedule with private discussion on Tuesday and on Thursday. Please, let me know if you are interested in discussing with Borja (otherwise I will try to select a representative sample based on our research topics). -- Title: Controlling quantum systems in circuit QED designs. -- Abstract: The filed of circuit QED is widely considered the on-chip realization of cavity QED, where superconducting artificial atoms and microwave photons interact at the quantum level. The large tunability attainable in these solid-state devices, has made possible the achievement of the the so-called strong and ultrastrong coupling between light and matter. In this talk, I will show how we can take advantage of this large degree of control in circuit QED to manipulate the light-matter interaction, and ultimately the microwave photons in a resonator or propagating in an open transmission line. This offers a wide range of applications, ranging from quantum communications, condensed matter physics, to simulations in Quantum Field Theory. Best regards, Gian Giacomo
